New DVD available from Amazon UK! It is in widescreen, befitting a Cinemacope movie. As the picture below shows, it is from The Best of British Collection. I've always liked Stewart Granger. Remember Bhowani Junction?
Here's a movie I'd like to see. Just watch this little clip and judge for yourself. I seem to be on a Brit movie kick right now. In addition, I just started reading the Magazine "Empire" and have a wishlist on Amazon UK.
The last two editions of Empire have been excellent. This month was largely about the upcoming Dark Night Rises, and last month was all about James Bond's 50th Anniversary.
The Man in the Iron Mask, with Richard Chamberlain. He made this as well as The Count of Monte Christo. He did a good job with both roles. Both of the aforementioned movies will be on TCM this Monday and Tuesday, but with Louis Heyward and Robert Donat in the starring roles. Looking forward to seeing both!
Santa Fe Trail, with Erroll Flynn, Ronald Reagan, and Olivia De Havilland. Great little movie! Directed by the great Michael Curtiz. Unfortunately, this movie fell into the public domain years ago. As a result, it has not seen any restoration that I know of and you can tell. I see that it is being released later this summer on Blu Ray, but I'm not getting my hopes up that any real restoration was done.
